32-year-old surrogate mother demands her 60-year-old mom stop acting as “grandma” to surrogate baby, Lily, and respect the real parents after weeks of social media posts and unwanted parenting advice: ‘She's been acting like she's Lily's grandmother’

Some family trees have so many extra branches you'd think they came from a genealogy studies book, but this one just sprouted a whole new species of grandmother. The roots of this story lie in a modern, functional, boundary-accepting arrangement where a woman generously acts as surrogate for her husband's ex and his partner. Everyone is content, and baby Lily is loved beyond measure. 

Still, Mom enters the ring, seizing the surrogacy spotlight and apparently announces she's running for the title heavyweight championship of World's Most Enthusiastic Grandma despite not making it through the Qualifiers.

While everyone else is learning the difference between "supportive" and "overstepping," Mom is busy posting precious granddaughter tributes on Facebook like she's one step away from crocheting a "World's Best Grandma" sampler for a kid who, technically, isn't her grandchild. Forget surrogacy basics, this woman is running the full sprint to the moral finish line, wielding phrases like my entitlement is thicker than water and mistaking her daughter's pregnancy for a family timeshare.

Setting boundaries in a family is hard enough when the only thing at stake is who hosts Thanksgiving, but throw surrogacy and the confusing DIY DNA math in, and suddenly someone needs a full evolutionary documentary just to keep the roles straight.
